Snapchat can change its terms at any time, and by continuing to use the app after receiving notice of changes, you are considered to have agreed to the new terms.
This analysis describes what Snapchat's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The clause establishes the procedural mechanism by which the agreement terms can be updated without negotiation, and specifies that users' ongoing use of the service operates as affirmative acceptance of amended terms rather than requiring separate opt-in.
If Snapchat updates its terms and you continue using the app, the agreement states you have accepted those updated terms, even if the changes are material; the notice mechanism (email, in-app notice, or updated date) may not ensure that all users are aware of specific changes before being bound by them.

"We may revise these Terms from time to time. If we make changes to these Terms, we'll provide you with notice of such changes, such as by sending an email, providing a notice through our Services, or updating the date at the top of these Terms. Unless we say otherwise in our notice, the amended Terms will be effective immediately, and your continued use of the Services after we provide notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes.— Excerpt from Snapchat's Snapchat Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Unilateral modification clauses in consumer contracts engage the EU Unfair Contract Terms Directive and UK Consumer Rights Act, which may restrict the enforceability of terms that allow unilateral modification without a legitimate reason and adequate notice. GDPR Article 7 requires that consent be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous, which may limit the use of continued-use acceptance for changes that affect personal data processing. US consumer protection law under FTC Act Section 5 applies to whether notice of material changes is adequate. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The continued-use acceptance mechanism for term changes is common in consumer platform agreements but may be subject to challenge where changes are material and notice is not sufficiently prominent. EU/EEA users may have stronger rights to reject material term changes. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users may be able to terminate the service without penalty if material term changes are notified under applicable consumer contract law. UK users have similar protections under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. US users have fewer protections against unilateral term modifications in standard consumer platform agreements. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations that have entered into reliance arrangements based on current Snapchat terms should monitor for term change notifications and assess whether changes to the content license, arbitration clause, or data practices require policy updates or regulatory notifications. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should establish a process for monitoring Snapchat term changes, particularly changes to the content license, arbitration clause, or data practices sections, and should assess whether material changes trigger consent re-collection obligations for EU/EEA users or notification obligations under applicable data protection law.
